The place I chose is Centennial Woods. Centennial Woods is a natural area that is owned by the University of Vermont. To get there from central campus, walk east, and go past the water tower. Then cross East Ave and walk down Carrigan Drive until you get there. There is a sign at the entrance, so it is very easy to spot.

I chose Centennial Woods to be the place I would visit during this project mainly because of its close proximity to campus. It is only about a 15 minute walk from my dorm. I also just love this place. As soon as I step into the natural area, I feel a sense of calm and want to spend hours there. There is a lot of variety in plants, wildlife, and scenery. A few places are open clearings and there is a stream that runs through the area as well.
